Safety Precautions
The following provides important information about the M3091DC. Be sure to comply with this
information to ensure that you use the M3091DC in a safe manner.
Precautions regarding power
- Insert the AC adapter only in a 110 VAC outlet rated at 15 A. Do not use a
multiple receptacle plug. Disregarding these precautions may cause a fire or
electric shock.
- Do not scratch, damage, or otherwise alter the power cord. Do not put
heavy objects on the power cord, and do not pull or bend it. Disregarding
these precautions may damage the power cord, causing fire or electric
shock.
- Be sure to use the power cord (AC adapter) attached to the scanner. Do not
use an extension cord. Disregarding this precaution may result in abnormal
heat or a fire.
- Do not use a power cord or AC adapter that is damaged, or an outlet with a
loose socket. Disregarding this precaution may result in a fire or electric
shock. Return the damaged item to the store where you purchased it, or
contact FUJITSU.
- Disconnect the AC adapter before connecting an interface cable or optional
product. Disregarding this precaution may result in electric shock.
- Do not insert or remove the AC adapter with wet hands. Disregarding this
precaution may result in electric shock.

ÿ
- Clean a dusty AC adapter or outlet with a dry cloth. Using a dusty adapter
or outlet can cause a fire.
- In the following cases, stop using the scanner, remove the AC adapter from
the outlet, and contact the store where you purchased the scanner or contact
FUJITSU.
You see smoke coming from the scanner, or the outside of the scanner is hot
to the touch.
You hear any unusual sounds.
Water gets into the scanner
Continuing to use the scanner in any of these conditions may cause a fire.
- If you hear thunder nearby, remove the AC adapter from the outlet. Failure
to do so may result in damage to the scanner and any connected devices.
- Insert the AC adapter fully and securely into the outlet. Failure to do so
may cause a fire or a failure.
- Be sure to disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet before cleaning,
maintaining, or repairing the scanner.
If you clean or maintain the scanner without disconnecting the AC adapter
from the outlet, you may receive an electric shock.
- If you will not be using the scanner for a long time, be sure to disconnect the
AC adapter from the outlet for safety reasons. Failure to do so may cause a
fire or a failure.

ÿÿ
- When disconnecting the AC adapter from the outlet, be sure to hold the
plug. Pulling the power cord may damage the cord, causing a fire or electric
shock.
- Do not stare at the fluorescent lamp.
- Conduct the following inspections at least once a month.
Is the AC adapter plugged into the outlet securely?
Is the AC adapter warmer than usual to the touch, or is it rusted or warped?
Is there any fine dust on the AC adapter and outlet?
Is the power cord cracked or scratched?
If you find any abnormal condition, contact the store where you purchased the
M3091DC or contact FUJITSU.
Precautions for installing and moving the scanner
- Do not install the scanner in a high-temperature, high-humidity, badly
ventilated, or dusty environment. Doing so may cause a fire or electric
shock.
- Do not install the scanner near a heating source such as a stove or a heater,
or near flammable materials such as volatile substances or a curtain. Doing
so may cause a fire.
- Do not use the scanner in wet environments such as a bathroom or shower
room. Doing so may cause a fire or electric shock.

ÿ
- Do not place the scanner on an unstable surface such as one subject to
strong vibration or one that is uneven. Doing so may cause the scanner to
fall or tip over, causing injuries.
- Do not leave the scanner for a long time where it is hot, as in direct sunlight
or in a car under exposed to direct sunlight. Doing so may cause the cover to
overheat, deform, or melt, or cause the scanner to overheat, resulting in a
fire.
- Before moving the scanner, be sure to disconnect the AC adapter from the
outlet. Failure to do so may damage the power cord, resulting a fire or
electric shock, or cause the scanner to fall or tip over, causing injury.

Precautions for using the scanner
- Do not put a vase, flowerpot, cup, or other object containing a liquid on the
scanner. If water spills, a fire or electric shock could result.
- Do not put metallic objects on the scanner. If a paper clip, staple or other
metallic object, or a flammable material slip enters the scanner through a
vent, a short circuit may occur, causing a fire or electric shock.
- Do not spray water on the scanner or otherwise allow it to become damp.
Doing so may cause a fire.
- Do not insert or drop any foreign object such as a combustible into the
scanner through any opening (for example, opening for paper). Doing so

- If a foreign object (metallic object, water or other liquid) gets into the
scanner, immediately disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet, then
contact the store where you purchased the scanner or contact FUJITSU.
Continuing to use the scanner may cause a fire or electric shock.
- If you drop the scanner or if the cover is damaged, disconnect the AC
adapter from the outlet, then contact the store where you purchased the
scanner or contact FUJITSU. Continuing to use the scanner may cause a
fire or electric shock.
- Never open panels and covers secured by screws. High voltage inside the
scanner can result electric shock.
- Do not modify the scanner or switch any parts. Doing so may cause a fire.

ÿ
- Do not use a highly flammable spray near the scanner. Doing so may cause
afire.
- Do not put heavy objects on the scanner. Do not subject the scanner to
shock. Doing so may cause the scanner to fall or tip over, causing injuries.
- Do not cover vents or other openings (such as the opening for paper) of the
M3091DC. If a vent is covered, the M3091DC will overheat, causing a fire.
- Do not cover the M3091DC while in use with a cloth or wrap it up. Doing
so will cause the M3091DC to overheat, causing a fire.
- To prevent injury, be careful not to touch sharp edges when removing paper
after a paper jam or repairs.
- To prevent injury, do not touch the inlet and paper outlet while the
M3091DC is operating.
